Default Side mirrors

Is it just me or are the side mirrors just really not appealing? To me it's the only (if any) part to the Crossfire that is unpleasing to the eye? Has anyone seen aftermarket mirrors for the X-fire? Wonder if one of the Companies on here could fab some... That's if there is anybody else that doesn't like the mirrors.

I don't think there is anything intrinsically wrong with them, certainly no more so than any other car's side mirrors. But I've never been a big fan of how ANY car looks with side mirrors. I simply look upon them as a necessary evil. Just be glad we don't have something like "this" to contend with.

It use to kill me when ever I'd see a "classic" British Sports car (such as a XKE or an Austin Healey) and they would have their mirrors way out in the middle of the fender.

If you like the classic sports car style "bullet shaped" mirrors (used on the 63-67 Cobra, and the 65-66 Shelby Mustang) go to:
www.COBRANDA.com
They sell them for $35.95 apiece. They have a 4 3/4" base that's long enough to cover the one on the Crossfire, but I'm not sure about the width.

I actually like them very much, like the aero flow around them too although they make a bit of a howl near the base of the them. I just wish they had an electronic auto folding feature that they hide away when you take the key out.

I personally like the stlye of the mirrors, there was a time where you did not even get a passenger side mirror, I think the mirrors fit the body very well and flow with her shape, why would you want to change the mirrors and ruin the look of such a cool car????

The mirrors hold the car cover on while your fighting with the wind too! I think they look fine.

Try updating the glass with the slightly tinted blue lenses with built in turn signals in them. Mopar part #82209048.

Try this thread for more info:

The Japanese cars have the same thing but still have the mirrors on the doors. I guess they just really like there mirrors.

I second that, can someone find a picture of that. I was thinking that there is no way the People haven't put different mirrors on these in Germany already, so there has to be a picture out there.
